A one-person studio in Littleton, Colorado, building custom sites with real craft — no templates, no page-builder defaults, no shortcuts.
Every project starts from the subject, not a starter kit. Here's the latest.
A field guide to Roxborough, Colorado — history, neighborhoods, local nature, and how the metro district works, all wrapped in a design language pulled straight from the area's red-rock geology. Includes a live map, an FAQ built for search, and a full local SEO pass from the ground up.
Taking on a few new builds this season — community sites, small business, portfolios.
let's talk →Every project starts from the actual subject matter — its history, its colors, its vernacular — not a Squarespace theme with your logo dropped in.
Neighborhood guides, local organizations, small business storefronts — sites for people and places, built to actually get used.
Structured data, sitemaps, real meta tags, and content written for how people actually search — not bolted on after launch.
Sites get updates, tweaks, and small fixes long after launch day — not abandoned the moment they ship.
By day, I'm a software engineer building applications for a Denver-area school district. Big Ups Designs is where the side projects live — sites built the way I'd want to build them if nobody was rushing me: researched, custom, and a little weird in the best way.
Based in Littleton, Colorado. Currently taking on a few new projects.
"Every project gets the same treatment — real research, a real point of view, zero template defaults."
Have a project that deserves better than a template? Tell me about it.
